Why Do Bears Sleep in Winter? | Educational Kids’ Song

◷ 3:35

This gentle song explains why a bear eats well in autumn and rests in a safe den when winter food is scarce. Children discover how stored fat supplies energy until food becomes easier to find in spring.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
Pourquoi l'ours mange tant en automne ? Il mange des baies, des graines qu'il trouve Les feuilles rouges et dorées tournoient Chaque bouchée augmente sa réserve La graisse garde l'énergie pour plus tard La neige tombe, les buissons sont vides Chercher au loin lui prendrait trop de forces Quand la nourriture est rare en hiver L'ours dort et garde son énergie Il se repose, l'hiver suit son cours Sa graisse soutient alors son corps Sous les racines, sa tanière l'abrite L'ours s'y blottit et bouge très peu Son flanc monte au rythme d'un souffle lent Sa graisse lui fournit de l'énergie Il garde ses forces jusqu'à ce qu'elle revienne Quand la nourriture est rare en hiver L'ours dort et garde son énergie Il se repose, l'hiver suit son cours Sa graisse soutient alors son corps Le soleil printanier fait fondre la neige Il trouve à manger bien plus facilement L'ours quitte sa tanière et va vers la lumière Quand la nourriture est rare en hiver L'ours dort et garde son énergie Il se repose, l'hiver suit son cours Sa graisse soutient alors son corps Son sommeil l'a aidé quand la nourriture était rare À présent, il trouve à manger et repart
Language version lyrics
Why such a feast beneath the autumn leaves? The bear eats berries, seeds, and what it finds Red and golden leaves whirl overhead Each bite builds up a useful reserve Stored fat holds energy for later Snow falls; now berry bushes stand empty Searching far would use too much strength When winter food is hard to find The bear sleeps, saving energy It rests while winter passes by Stored fat keeps its body going A den beneath the roots keeps it sheltered The bear curls up and moves very little Its side rises slowly with each breath From stored fat, it draws the energy it needs It saves its strength until food returns When winter food is hard to find The bear sleeps, saving energy It rests while winter passes by Stored fat keeps its body going Spring sunlight melts the snow to shining drops Now something to eat is easy to find The bear steps from its den into the light When winter food is hard to find The bear sleeps, saving energy It rests while winter passes by Stored fat keeps its body going Winter sleep helped through the season of need Now food is back; the bear sets out again
